I’m not sure how much I shared here about the crappy week I just spent. It involved just about the entire gamut of Murphy’s Law and then some. Next time I schedule a week off work, well… never mind. Let’s just say that there are a few things worse than work stress.

Greek to Me - Confessions of an Altared Boy
By virtue of my tendencies toward obsessivity, it seems not out of the realm of possibility that I find myself, once again addicted to a certain behavior. (Not unlike my sister-of-another-mother, Piglet…
That behavior, of course, being the uncontrollable urge to scour YouTube for the [...]

First, I think an apology is in order for anyone who was grossed out by last night’s video presentation. Surprisingly, I didn’t regret either the posting or the decision to “tie one on” as much as I thought I might.
Where do you suppose the phrase “tie one on” originated? Well, since I’m not pressed for [...]

*not to surf YouTube under the influence of alchoholic beverages. I’ll regret this tomorrow, I’m sure. (even more than I regret that silly quiz…

I just sat down here because I’m waiting for a phone call and don’t want to start anything and then have to quit when the phone rings.
I have not one thing in my head to write about. I’m going to wing it and see what comes to me.

I was feeling crazy and this looked like fun. I give it a C-minus for accuracy… What do you think? I’m thinking that maybe this was me at one time, but sounds like too much work now!

Sometimes life has a way of gettin’ ahead of you and the best you can do is just hold on tight and go with it. Things happen that you have no control over. Other things pop up that you’re just not emotionally equipped to deal with, no matter how hard you try.
I’m, at [...]

Several months ago, I was engaging on one of my favorite pastimes which is cruising YouTube. I came across a video of a young man playing a piano. I clicked. I was mesmerized. I noticed he had about 30 other videos posted and I watched maybe 5 or 6 of them [...]

When I first met PD, he was way into martial arts, self-defense and all that. He always stressed to me how important it is to be aware of your surroundings at all times.

So how am I liking this new work schedule?
Here’s my take… Sit on your ass for 10 hours working, surrounded by a bunch of tense, overly-tired people sitting on their asses for 10 hours surrounded by a bunch of tense, overly-tired people. Drag your sore butt home and try to stay awake until bedtime, which [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the comments on my previous post about Lester’s quote. Most of you (Jeff!) put thought and heart into your answers. It got me thinking, though, about each of our definitions of what “cool” means.
I’ve always aspired to “be cool.” Didn’t care if I turned out to be especially [...]

I’m trying to take it kind of easy this weekend, dreading gearing up for working 4 ten-hour days this week. You might not see that as a major feat yourself, but for moi, getting up at 4:30 in the morning is something akin to having major dental work or trying to get a trial [...]
